Quote (david @ June 30 2008,12:25)Dirty, I was really confused as to why you still congregate with JW’s.  But now I understand.  You are, by definition, an apostate.  You go to their meetings, but consider them “Another daughter of the whore preaching a false gospel.” Nick said those words regarding JW's and you agreed with him saying 'Sad “but tr…[Read more]

By the way..your theory on Acts not ending in Amen means all the things in it continue today…is not found in scripture

942767…There is healing today, but there is no gift of healing, there are no “divine healers.” There is no gift of healing today but God still heals… sometimes. He healed Epaphroditus, but He did not heal Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 or in Galatians 4:13-15, or Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:23, or Trophimus in 2 Timothy 4:20. He heals according to…[Read more]

Just to add..Jesus basic message was…”I am he, Repent, GOD's Kingdom is at hand”…he later extended his invitation to all in John Chapter 10..therefore we read:Revelation 22:17… 17The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the…[Read more]

He doesn't believe what Jesus says…Matt.15:24  “I was not commissioned except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”.  How can one argue with someone who…[Read more]
